VEGE Remanufactured VC09 5.7L 350ci Premium Grade Long Block Engine

Description

Facing recurring valvetrain failure under load? Select the VEGE VC09 Premium Grade Long Block Engine. This 5.7L 350ci V8 workhorse delivers 245HP for mission critical commercial long block repower fleets. Installers must check knock sensor thread size on the lower block drain port before threading sensors because casting boss thread pitches differ across vehicle series.

Dense ASTM Class 35 pearlitic iron lines the massive cylinder block of this VEGE remanufactured long block. A heavy nodular iron crankshaft spins in precision honed four bolt main bearing saddles for exceptional structural strength. The 12V starter motor pulls 185A during cold starts. Dry mass measures 505 lbs inside an engine stance of 29in length by 26in width by 27in height holding 5.0 quarts oil.

Key Features of VEGE VC09

Transit companies buy VEGE VC09 Premium Grade Long Block Engine packages to avoid fleet downtime during an industrial engine rebuild. CNC diamond honing creates uniform cylinder wall crosshatching to ensure instant piston ring seal.

• Generous 350ci displacement provides dependable torque multiplication across flatbed haul cycles.
• Four-bolt main bearing caps anchor the bottom end against high RPM crankshaft deflection.
• Stellite faced exhaust valves stop seat face erosion under continuous heavy exhaust heat.
• Hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons resist scuffing across cold start thermal expansion cycles.
• The VC09 long block engine features high tensile connecting rod bolts torqued to specification.
• High volume oil pumps direct pressurized lubricant straight to all five main journals.
• One-piece fluoroelastomer rear main seals stop oil seepage around the rear crank flange.

Dynamic Dyno Load Evaluation

Controlled dyno load cycles stress the VC09 commercial core to verify durability. Dyno readouts record 245 continuous BHP and 335 ft-lbs torque output at 3,000 RPM. Main oil gallery pressure maintains 56 PSI at 190°F operating temperature. Exhaust gas sensors confirm safe 1,340°F heat thresholds. Individual cylinder compression stands at 182 PSI within 4% variance while crank runout checks out at 0.0003in TIR.

Installation Rules Maintenance Guidelines

Throttle shaft bellcranks accept 5 lbs mechanical linkage pull tension. Do not install this passenger car engine into stationary irrigation water pumps that operate continuously at 3,600 RPM without auxiliary cooling fans.

• Perform fluid and spin-on filter changes at strict 3,500-mile or 125 run hours service marks.
• Verify hydraulic flat tappet lifter preload every 30,000 miles to confirm valvetrain geometry.
• Retorque cylinder head fasteners to 65 ft-lbs after the initial 50 run hours.
